Use the convention that a Hermitian form is complex linear in its first argument. In the integral Hermitian forms on the square complex torus calculation, every Hermitian form on has the form , where is real. For and in the period lattice,
Consequently integrality holds precisely when : necessity follows from , and sufficiency follows from the displayed formula. Addition of Hermitian forms corresponds to addition of . Positivity is equivalent to , since . The answer is
With the conjugate-linear-first convention the formula is and the sign of reverses. The positive integer parameter is unchanged.
